Revenge thriller, ghost story, psychological drama, political epic, family saga. Packed with unforgettable characters, theatrical masterstrokes, and world-famous lines, Hamlet is one of the greatest plays ever written. Barry Edelstein’s 2017 staging of Shakespeare’s masterpiece was a smash hit on the Old Globe’s outdoor stage. Now the cast of that heralded production returns for an all-audio version that will transport you straight to Denmark’s haunted Elsinore castle in Hamlet: On the Radio. Coming up on April 8, 2021, as a part of The Old Globe Vicki and Carl Zeiger Virtual Insights Seminars, Production Stage Manager Anjee Nero and Associate Production Manager Leila Knox will join Associate Artistic Director Justin Waldman speaking about their work for this radio play. This webinar will air at 9:30 p.m. EDT / 6:30 p.m. PDT on Thursday April 8, 2021.
Hamlet: On the Radio will air in two parts. The first pairing will premiere on KPBS 89.5 FM on Shakespeare’s birthday, Friday, April 23 at 7:00 p.m. with the second half airing on Saturday, April 24 at 7:00 p.m. Additional airings are scheduled on Sunday, May 2 at 2:00 p.m. (both parts airing consecutively); Friday, June 18 at 7:00 p.m. and Saturday, June 19 at 7:00 p.m. (one part each day); and Sunday, June 27 at 2:00 p.m. (both parts airing consecutively).
